[Verse 1]
Wait
Find my patience
Can I change this?
Is this stasis
When I wake up, am I the same one?
Recognize, but not rearrange us

Don't rewrite yourself
Don't define yourself
By the ways in which you hide your health
There's no need to rеsign your wealth
I need to remind myself
Don't rеfind yourself
It's inside yourself
In all the parts you've kept expelled
Take advantage of the cards you’re dealt
[Verse 2]
Who I am
What I was
What I could become
It was always here
But never left my throat
If this is real

And let it get so numb
A space like a hug

I need to remind myself
Don't rewrite yourself
Don't define yourself
By the ways in which you hide your health
There's no need to resign your wealth
I need to remind myself
Don't refind yourself
It's inside yourself
In all the parts you've kept expelled
Take advantage of the cards you’re dealt
